 Activation

Using the serial number provided, you will be required to activate your
Lock On Flaming Cliffs 2 purchase prior to playing. During the Activation
process, the copy protection system will create a hardware profile of your sys-
tem and compare that to your current system each time you start the game. If
there has been a significant change to your computer like replacing significant
hardware items or changing your Operating System, you may be required to
reactivate your purchase. You are provided eight Activations. If you require
more after using all the ones provided, you may contact customer service at
support@lockon.ru
Each license (disk) has 8 activations and 10 deactivations.
You can activate your game up to 8 times.
If StarForce detects changes to your computer hardware/software as
described below, an activation will be required. The game include 8 (eight)
activations and 10 (ten) deactivations. It's important to note that deactivations
are utilized to save your activations when altering your PC hardware/software.
Before conducting a PC upgrade/OS re-install, you can deactivate the product
and when complete, reactivate without a loss of activations.
http://www.star-force.com/support/users/deactivate/
An activation will be required if the hardware/software changes exceed
12 points as rated below:
CPU ID: 13
Windows PID: 3
Computer Name: 3
Hard drive volume serial number: 3
MAC address: 6
RAM amount: 6
If you just uninstall Flaming Cliffs 2 and then reinstall it again on the same PC
without reinstalling your operating system or changing hardware, you do not
need to use a deactivation.
